TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Regime Change, the year’s most talked about nonfiction book, drops today. Within its pages, NY Times scribes Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveal frightening fly-on-the-wall scenes (or microphone in the Situation Room) from the tumultuous first year of Trump 2.0. Both the NY Times and The New Yorker grace “Regime Change” with rave reviews.

Worth noting: Trump often refers to Haberman as “Maggot.” Classy (not)....More book news: Exactly who covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline? That answer may be forthcoming in a new book from Lindy Li, a veteran Democratic fundraiser, according to Fox News.  Titled  Unburdened, Li’s tell-all has a September 15 pub date, which is the same month that Biden’s White House memoir is scheduled for release.

Imagine being gay and advocating for the creation of a country that, if you had the misfortune of living there, would immediately place you at risk of being unceremoniously thrown from a tall building.

Who Wants to Eat a Trillionaire?

source: Blaze Media

If billionaires “shouldn’t exist,” as our boring socialist friends never tire of saying, then a trillionaire must be not merely obscene but downright apocalyptic.
